Quick Fix : Visual Studio displaying NAV Report Layout as XML

TharangaC Profile Picture TharangaC 23,114
I got this issue with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition. 

Every time I open a Dynamics NAV report layout in Visual Studio, RDLC is rendered as XML file instead of visual layout with all the fields and tool boxes. 

How the report layout looks: 

FIX : In order to fix the issue you need to install "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools"

To install "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools" you need to go to 
Control Panel  -> Programs and Features - > Microsoft Visual Studio <Edition> -> Change

Or you can re run the installation setup. 
From the features list, enable "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools" option and proceed. 
Once the installation is completed you are good to go. This time report layout will open in correct design layout. 
Hope this helps you to resolve the issue. happy designing. 

Please provide your feedback with a comment. 
Thank you and Regards,
